IMPROVEMENT IN-Q'UILTING--FRAME HQLDER.

4m Ize S'hedule referred to in 'these Letters Patent and making part o! the sameA To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NxcHoLAsYoUNG, ot' Parma, in the county' of 4Jackson and Stat-e of Michigan, have invented a new and improved Quilting-'ame Holder; andldo hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof', which willl enable others skilled in the artto which my inve'ih tion appertains to make and use the same,'referenee being had to the accompanying drawing forming part. of this specification.

The ligure is a perspective view of the holder applied toa-section of a quilting-frame. My invention has for its object to provi'de a holder foi; the four. corners of a quilting-frame, for -the purpose of supporting the latter, and permitting its adjustment'during the process of niaiiuacturug quilts for beds, 85e.

The invention consists in a portable stand, provided with an adjustable clamping device, to receive the corner of a quilting-framqas will be hereinafter, more fully described.

In the accompanying drawing- Avis a stool, composed ot' or wood, andthe legs C.

In this example of my invention, posed ot' metal, and is provided, centrally, with an up ward-projecting screw, D.

This screw works diametricany through a metall ring, E, by means of a nut formed in the lower side of" the ring, as shown in the drawing.

Upon the ,upper end of the sc'rew, and within the ring, is swiveleda short dog or bar, F, to receive and the top B isv comsupport the ends of 1 the quilting-name.

the )tint top B, of metal To apply the holder to a quilting-frame, the lapped ends G of the latter are placed within the ring E, resting upon the swiveled dog. The ring and ends of Athe frame are `then heldin one hand firmlyin position with relation to each other, and the stool .A raised 4troui the iioor, Aand rotated bythe other hand, to turn the screw, and thus clamp the ends of the frame betweeu-thedog F and the inner circumference of the ring.

It will, of course, be understood that the lstool is rotated in either direction, as occasion requires, to adjust theparts ofthe frame for rolling or unrolling the quilt, and also that as many holders must be used ask there are corners to the frame. The ring E should be made of sucient diameter to permit the passage of two` ends of the frame lapped upon each other at rigbt angles.

.By my invention, a simple and economical holder forquilting-frames is produced, by which much of the labor and annoyance incident to the manufacture of `quilts is avoided.

Having,r thus described my invention, What I claim as new, "and desire to secure oy Letters Patent, is

The quilting-frame hoiuei, vconsisting of the stool A, screw D, adj usiablering E, and swveled dog or bar F, substantially as herein shown and described.
